I have a 6 going on 7 little girl coming for Thanksgiving. There won't be any other kids, so I want to record a bunch of shows she will like. Any suggestions? Educational shows will be great, since she is a little behind in school.

I've been in the same situation and recorded a bunch of shows for the kid. Kid wouldn't watch a single one of them and going forward requested the parents supply DVD's they approve for the kids to watch in another room as football will be on the big screen.

I was going to suggest this. I had my nieces and their children over and nothing I put on was as interesting to them as I thought it would be. Finally my niece went out and grabbed a dvd from the car and they watched that - over and over and over - while we chatted in the other room.

I struggle to find shows for my 6 year old daughter. A lot of the popular Disney and Nick shows have kids that are so snarky and bratty I can't stand it. Fresh Beat isn't bad, but it gets really old fast.

Unfortunately this girl does not have any parents in the equation to supply DVD's.

I think some of those are more for the 3-5 YO demo. My kid liked iCarly at 6-7 (she's almost 9 now), along with some of the others mentioned. Though she did watch The Princess Bride for the 3rd time last night.

And occasionally watches UFC with me. She's almost got an armbar down.

At 6-7 I think kids educational TV is lacking, so we watched Mythbusters or other stuff on Nat Geo or Discovery and discuss the topics as the show goes on.
